Council of Chief Information Officers

The evolving role of the Chief Information Officer as a catalyst to business excellence has changed significantly in recent years.

Investment in the latest technology does not automatically guarantee success. The strategic management of information through the use of information technology systems enables alignment of corporate strategy with the high-speed business environment of today. The CIO is increasingly called upon to take a leadership role that will assist their organization to gain a competitive edge in the new digital economy.

The Conference Board’s Council of Chief Information Officers (CCIO) provides members with the opportunity to discover how CIOs in leading-edge public and private sector organizations, are managing these challenges and opportunities.

To challenge members to a higher level of thinking through stimulating discussion focused on new knowledge and strategic issues and concerns related to the field.

To serve as a sounding board for research initiatives that the Conference Board may undertake in this area.
